Re: Anyone want a Beseler CB7 w/ Dichro COMPLETE!

The CB7 is a 4x5 that's a bit heavier duty than the MX series (in its day). The 5x7 version of the Beseler is the MB57. It's a cold light enlarger, but they did have a 4x5 condensor assembly as well. There have been two or three MB57s pop up on eBay in the last year or so. I snagged one of them for $225.00, but the other went for over $500. Keep an eye out. They do show up. And don't fork over in excess of $100 for negative carries designed specifically for that enlarger (except of course for the 5x7 carrier). The Beseler 4x5 Negaflat works perfectly well on the MB57 for 4x5 negs and with a bit of jiggling, you can get the 2.25" Negatrans to work for 120 format film.
